Sandbag Around The World

Video coming soon...

The sandbag Around the World workout is designed to primarily engage the obliques.

The sandbag is used as a versatile tool to add resistance and challenge to the exercise.

By performing rotational movements with the sandbag, the obliques are targeted and strengthened.

While the workout may also engage auxiliary muscles, its main focus is on the obliques.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding the sandbag in front of your chest with both hands, palms facing inwards.
Engage your core and keep your back straight as you lift the sandbag overhead, fully extending your arms.
Once the sandbag is overhead, slowly begin to move it in a circular motion to your right side, keeping your arms straight and maintaining control.
Continue the circular motion, bringing the sandbag behind your head and down to your left side, still keeping your arms straight and controlled.
As the sandbag reaches your left side, reverse the circular motion, bringing it back up and over to your right side.
Repeat the circular motion for the desired number of repetitions, maintaining control and proper form throughout.
After completing the desired number of repetitions, lower the sandbag back down to your chest and return to the starting position.

Engage your obliques by maintaining a strong core throughout the entire movement. Imagine your waistline being pulled in towards your spine, activating those side muscles and creating a stable foundation.
Focus on your form and avoid using momentum to swing the sandbag around. Instead, control the movement with your obliques, feeling the burn as you powerfully rotate from side to side.
Experiment with different grip positions on the sandbag to challenge your obliques from various angles. Try an overhand grip, an underhand grip, or even a staggered grip to target different muscle fibers and keep your obliques guessing.
As you rotate, imagine your obliques acting as a powerful twisting spring, coiling up on one side and releasing that energy to propel you to the other side. Visualize the strength and power within your obliques, and let it fuel your every movement.
Don’t forget to breathe! Inhale deeply before initiating the rotation and exhale forcefully as you twist, engaging your core even more. Use your breath as a tool to amplify the effectiveness of the exercise and maintain focus on your obliques.
